I’ll be sharing some stories and reflections on the 2014 Haiti Vision Trip with Praying Pelican Missions over the next week or so. But for now I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures. (Hover over the images to see captions, RSS readers, visit the site to see missing captions)
For Praying Pelican Missions, Cote Plage is one of their key partners and housing locations. I captured this shot in the early morning light on Saturday.
Dave stopped for this picture while exploring an orphanage near Jacmel, Haiti
Exploring the countryside is more fun in the back of a pick-up
Kristen teaches children how to blow bubbles. Pretty awesome that this was 100% new to them… clearly not a lot of American teams have been here.
Who doesn’t want to do a mission trip with this view? Absolutely amazing place.
A bubble is a surprising difficult subject as it’s always moving and autofocus can’t quite manage. I set my lens and just waited… really pleased with this shot.
A meeting with the school’s director to hear about their work… none of the teachers get paid, 100% volunteer.
This puppy posed for a picture after we met with the school director.
Not exactly Yosemite, this water bottle has been some places… in this case the mountains of Haiti.
Apparently, this gentleman’s flight was delayed and lead to a miscommunication with his ride. For some reason he decided to stand in the middle of the arrival area with at least a thousand people staring at him. Every 15-20 seconds someone would offer him a cab.

Gair spotted this old iron at the orphanage in Jacmel, it opens in the middle to put hot coals in… a collectable.

A team had just completed this construction of a boys dorm in an orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti
Loved this shot of Wes, just being Wes. His beard made him a kid-favorite.
We all want to know what Papa Noelle does in the off season, apparently he plays soccer with kids
I captured this shot almost by instinct, she tossed the frisbee and I fired the shutter… the result is fun.
I may have provoked this look with a comment…

I’ve met Anderson a few times at Good Shepherd, he’s always full of great smiles and makes sure to tell you his name, Anderson.

This cute little guy was curious about my big camera. Shortly after this he crawled behind me on the floor and fell asleep.
One of the favorite things for our group to do was enjoy some good old country jun in the back of the pick-up.
The ride up to Jacmel & Bissen Bleu was long, but awesome.
We enjoyed one of the Western Hemisphere’s best waterfalls… Bassin Bleu.
The team performed a skit sharing the story of the Prodigal Son, afterwards Rebecca Hug offered an application for the story.
